Their huffing and puffing added a lot to the game and had it not been for the busy musicians, there would have been times when the hours dragged. When the fray wan called for a passing shower, the band dug in and blew plenty pretty. A The sur* rising part of Meyers' contribution, Talent folks proudly relate, is that a few short months ago none of the bund member« knew whether you played music on a horn or ¡toured kerosene into lamps through 'em. The near est thing to a drummer they had was u kid who had rat tled sticks on picket fences, and the clarinet player had to is- baited with lollypops so he could tell where his lips went.

Carter holds two straight wins over world champion Bob Kennas- ton and should prove a good test for Jackson, who defeated Pete Belcaslro in his only Medford ap pearance last week. Carter is from the University of Missouri where he taught wrest ling and was assistant football couch He is a clean grappler but also is a master of the rough stuff when his opponent wants it that way, as Jackson probably will. Dick Trout, the San Diego air plane spin artist, will face a new comer in the person of Sammy Kohen of New York in the middle bout. Kohen is a well-built physi cal culture "fiend” and is reported to be a clean and scientific wrest ler. He has just arrived in the United States from a very suc cessful tour of South America. Another newcomer, Jim Spencer from Boston, gets the call in the opening bout against Vem Clark of Michigan who returns to Med- al L ob Angele« lightweight and Dave Lefty of San Francisco left for Australia where they will par ticipate in a series of matches. Shumway had several fights in Ashland, most of them in the old Eagles hall. The speed with which he struck his blows and his ef fective left uppercut combined with his dynamite right cross fell ed many opponents. The speed with which he disposed of Bill Coleman, veteran sparring partner of Gene O’Grady, in one round is still remembered by the Ashland fans of the cauliflower industry. Shumway deserted the local in stitution for University of Idaho where he was a star member of the boxing team. Later he moved to San Francisco where he was married. A fight with Harry Ca hill in the Dreamland auditorium of that city took just about all the fight out of Tiger John but he decided revenge would be sweet and pinned Cahill’s ears back in their next bout. Since then he has been enjoying splendid success in northern California rings. inlmit ¡vmery, or Maxson in seventh. _______ for Joanis in seventh.
